criteria

- Complete sentence (subject + verb + object)
- On-topic (class rule)
Hints
- Force continuum: PERSUADED (gentle) → COMPLAINED → DECLARED → INSISTED (strongest).
- A class rule example: snack time, line-leader rotation, library check-out.
Misconceptions to watch
- Uses INSISTED when the meaning is mild.
- Uses PERSUADED without the actual persuasion-with-reasons.
